Iron holder



Jan. 9, 1934. H. l. HOLSTROM 1,942,755 I IRON HOLDER Filed March 5, 1933 Z Z L a J Inventor if I Era ill/25252 712211 Patented Jan. 9, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE This invention relates to an iron holder, the general object of the invention being to provide a stand having a ramp extending from one edge thereof to the ironing board so that the iron can be run up the ramp on to the stand or run from the stand down the ramp to the board, thus permitting the iron to be moved from the board to the stand and from the stand to the board with the least possible effort.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:-

Figure 1 is a top plan view of the invention.

Figure 2 is a section on line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary bottom plan view.

In this drawing, the numeral 1 indicates the stand which is formed with the depending flanges 5 2 at its ends and rear side which act to hold the top of the stand elevated from the board. A ramp forming member 3 extends from the other side of the top portion of the stand to a point where it will engage the board when the device is placed on an ironing stand, as shown in Figure 2. The part 3 has the holes 4 therein so that thumb tacks can be passed through these holes into the board to hold the device stationary, and both the member 3 and the top of the stand are formed with the grooves 5 for reinforcing these parts and preventing them from warping by the heat. A hollow bead 6 extends around the top of the stand at its two ends and rear side. Asbestos or the like, shown at 7, is placed on the under face of the top of the stand and is held in place by the tongues 8 which are cut from the flanges and are bent up to engage with the asbestos, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. These tongues form openings 9 for the escape of any heat collecting under the device.

Thus it will be seen that the user of an iron can readily move the iron up the ramp 3 on to the stand or move the iron from the stand down the ramp upon the board with the least possible eifort, and that the bead 6 will hold the iron on the stand.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is:-

An iron holder of the class described comprising a stand having a top part, depending flanges at the ends and rear side of the top part, a bead extending upwardly from the top part at the two ends and rear side thereof, an inclined ramp extending from the front edge of the top part to the board and having small holes in its lower corners for receiving thumb tacks to fasten the holder to a board, a sheet of non-conducting material located on the under face of the top part of the stand and extending to the flanges and said end and rear flanges having tongues cut therefrom, bent up against the sheet to hold the same in place and the spaces left by the tongues extending to the bottom of the flanges and forming openings for escape of heated air collecting under the top part.
